is dust not an issue out there? I know that it can affect efficiency. I also know that any numbers people get from their solar salesmen don't mention variables like that, or breakage or being fried by power surges or pigeon poop, scratches and a thousand other things that can kill any 'profits' you would ever make from it.
I'm not convinced personally. I think the costs are far too high to make your money back now in a reasonable amount of time and even if it did take off in popularity people wouldn't be getting paid out a fraction as much as they are now.
blackouts? Aside from that big one we had in 2003 i've never been out for more than an hour. Not even enough time for my laptop to die ;)
